Executive Summary: The World Bank, IMF et al have been reporting economic activity in Russia based only on figures supplied by RosStat, the Russian state owned statistics bureau. Without challenge. Thus, to date, sanctions have been seen by the public and world governments as having a mixed...

A QP owner asked a question last night, in a Maserati Fbk group and it's got me curious. He said that when he puts his foot on the brake to start the car. The needles on the gauges bounce around. I'm guessing that this is as far as he takes it. Not wanting to compound an issue, already present...

If you're an authority on Biturbo Spyders, the market now and the likely market in the Spring. I have a few queries which I'd like to run past you privately. Cheers.

Sarah Palin attempted to get elected to the US House of Representatives in a Special Election this week. This followed the death of the incumbent Congressman. Because the seat is subject to another election in November, the term in office only lasts until then. The seat was won by a Democrat...

Featured on millions of adolescent bedroom posters. Singer of some of the 80's iconic pop songs. Co star of that movie. Adopted daughter of Australia. Philanthropist. Particularly in cancer research for which she raised ten's of millions of AUS$. She was 'Love and light'. Thank you for it all.

At first glance. You may not think that Lipps Inc's Funkytown has anything to do with the war in Ukraine. And you'd be right. Apart from the fact that it was being recorded and produced at the same time as the Russian Army was retreating from Afghanistan in 1989. Given it's the single biggest...

I was eleven for the Queen's Silver Jubilee. I don't recall much about that celebration, as my eleventh year was quite eventful in it's own right. I have just remembered getting a special jubilee Scout badge, which I thought looked quite impressive, as it had a lot of silver coloured stitching...

Bit of a shocker, eh.

This is from a series of videos called Dry Bar Comedy. It does exactly what it says. Stand-up that's booze free. Its hit and miss. Some acts are hilarious. Others, not so much. This guy made me laugh out loud though. And I'm not even married! Enjoy :p

Apologies for stating the obvious. And since Russia has invaded again, I feel that a new thread is called for. As I believe that we're in a whole new state of affairs now. 'Meanwhile on the Ukrainian Border' doesn't really cut it. The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, said on Meet the...

I'll kick off with a couple. One recent. One not so recent. "I'm definitely not one for sucking my own $$$$." said by 2manycars on Pistonheads this morning. 2manycars I had a music class teacher when I was in first or second year, aged 12 or 13. This was 1977 or 1978. Really nice guy, called...

Boris Johnson flew to Eastern Europe today. Leading several thousand elite British ski troops. Shown above. The Prime Minister denied claims that sending Britain's Rapid Response Corps to the Ukrainian front line is a thinly disguised cover for his annual ski trip. Insisting that Zermatt is the...

Loosely linked to 'Meanwhile on the Ukrainian Border'. Talk of offal, caused memories to surface. In my early 20's. I found myself on a train in Russia, with a small number of other British 'guests'. Our Russian hosts got us hammered the previous night, with the drinking starting as soon as we...

The map is just for illustrative purposes. Russian troop numbers on the border with Ukraine are a multiple of what is shown here. We only import about 2% of our energy requirements as gas from Russia. Germany imports about 60%. Tonight the UK is flying anti-tank missiles and training teams to...

Meanwhile. In the StarmerBunker. The lights are off AND nobody's home. Its says a lot, when the Leader of the Opposition is Keir "call me Special K" Starmer and the Red Wall Tories are worried about re-election under Boris. Just how bad does a Labour Leader have to be, for the electorate to...

Apparently The Sweeny are looking at this video to assess whether any crimes have been committed. We know politicians lie. Boris is a prime example. Yet the country will probably vote him back into Number 10 when the election rolls around. So, given that. And given there are so many, more...
